Green Pearl...

I want to make a deal with you.

What can I possibly do for you?

Fall in love with Chu Zhaonan.

Seven Swords

Episode 11 Seven Swords

Swordsman...

Have a drink.

They beat you up again?

Is it true that men feel stronger...

when they see women suffer?

Not all men.

Men who treat women badly should never carry a sword.

If I had a sword in my hand,

I'd wipe out this whole military camp.

Here...

Swordsman...

Take a drink.

She's just a slave. Forget her.

Chu Zhaonan is just a swordsman.

Does Your Highness really need to go to such lengths?

He is not "just a swordsman".

He defeated me once,

but he could not defeat me a second time.

I have analysed his skills now.

Next time, I will definitely defeat him.

Your Highness...

Let me fight him again!

You can't defeat him.

You should know that.

There is only one "Dragon Sword" in the world.

And only one Chu Zhaonan.

Your actions mean nothing to him,

except where Green Pearl is concerned.

She is the key to his downfall.

A Swordsman, a warrior...

would not succumb to a woman.

Swords can only pierce his flesh.

But a woman... Can penetrate his soul.

Women can touch one's heart. That is the real danger.

Your Highness.

Will Fire-wind follow the plan?

He is a good general.

He won't fail me.

And, will Chu Zhaonan fall in love with Green Pearl?

"The hero becomes a prisoner of love"

If I'm not mistaken,

their love affair has already taken root.

Green Pearl!

Will they hurt you...

because you brought me water?

No, that is the advantage of being obedient.

Apart from these shackles,

I am free to do as I want.

They know that...

I cannot get away from this camp.

If I left, my life would be more miserable.

One girl who ran away was recaptured.

She was then beaten to death.

If I obey them,

then I can live comfortably.

I learnt when I was little.

Obedience is the easiest course.

So... Why do you continue to defy them?

You bring suffering upon yourself.

I only obey... my principles.

Tell me Swordsman, what are your principles?

Sincerity, honour and trust.

Why do you obey principles...

that I can't believe in?

I will make you believe in them.

You are a hero.

But I am a slave.

I just want to live a normal life.

I am not interested in anything else.

I already promised... that I would get you out of here.

Then you can lead a normal life.

Green Pearl.

Have faith in me.

I will make you believe... that honour and sincerity exist in the world.

You have great faith in yourself.

But I can't believe you.

I need more proof.

Green Pearl!

Although I cannot help you now,

I give you my word that I will,

can you trust me?

I want you to believe...

that my promise is sincere.

That's good. We should leave tomorrow night.

But First Brother hasn't turned up yet.

Well, we can't stay here any longer.

We must go tomorrow night. We can't wait any longer.

It would be too dangerous for the children.

Swordsman Chu is a good man.

God will protect him.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to buy gluttonous rice.

Why did he attack you?

It's part of our performance.

Wait for me here!

Remember, sit tight and count to twenty!

Give me your hand!

Green Pearl...

I want to make a deal with you.

What can I possibly do for you?

Fall in love with Chu Zhaonan.

Tell me Swordsman, what are your principles?

Sincerity, honour and trust.

Why do you obey principles...

that I can't believe in?

I will make you believe in them.

How can I know if love is true?

You wouldn't really have faith...

in the love of the swordsman. Would you?

General...

I don't have faith in any love.

So I couldn't have faith in the swordsman's.

I lost my faith in love...

when I was nine years old.

The truth is, everything is just business.

Everything I have done today...

is to fulfil my side of the deal...

and get the gold pieces and freedom I've been promised.

Your Highness.

The swordsman has already fallen in love with me.

My mission is accomplished.

What about your promise?

How can you prove that he has fallen for you?

Tomorrow, you can come to see him with me.

He will say it once again.

Do you simply believe his words of affection?

I don't.

I need proof.

I have prepared this sachet for the swordsman.

Let the swordsman...

prove his love...

with his life and his "Dragon Sword".

Now I understand...

it's his sword that you want.

This order is stamped with my personal seal.

It grants you lifelong freedom.

As well as the gold pieces I promised you.

This sword is very powerful.

Take it to him, and escape with him.

When he regains the "Dragon Sword", poison him!

Then bring the sword back to me.

Then you will be free.

Follow me!

Hold on tight!

Green Pearl!

Green Pearl!

He's gone!

The prince needed to convince Chu Zhaonan.

That's why he sent some soldiers.

But it seems that you have taken it too seriously.

For a plan like this to work,

we have to put on a good show.

But the swordsman has left you behind.

It seems that you failed to achieve your side of the deal!

What is it? Are you unhappy?

You wouldn't really fall for the swordsman, would you?

And you General...

you wouldn't fall in love with me, would you?

I've told you before.

There is no love in this world.

I know that!

Green Pearl!

Come on!

I had to return to keep my word to you.

Fire-wind. Stop!

Fire-wind, you went too far this time!

Didn't you tell me to block his way?

So he would not suspect that it was all a set up?

I know that you are against Chu Zhaonan.

You want to fight him again.

But you have to admit...

that your swordsmanship cannot compare with his.

There is only one way we can defeat him...

Using Green Pearl.

If she can accomplish the mission,

then you will become the best swordsman on earth.

Swordsmen should fight with swords.

Using a woman is shameful.

You shouldn't have come back for me.

I gave you my word, that I would save you

and show my sincerity to you.

I'm sorry swordsman.

I can't believe in your principles.

But I can see them in you.

Green Pearl...

Aren't you happy, now that you're free?

I'm happy just to be alive.

Unlike you,

I value my life.

You left and then came back again.

Do you think that you are invincible?

For you, it was worth it.

Green Pearl. Marry me.

Be my woman.

Listen to me swordsman.

I saved you today...

because I wanted to return your favour.

I don't want to be your woman.

I won't become anybody's woman.

I want only to belong to myself.

It doesn't matter. I'll wait.

Waiting won't change things. I'm incapable of love.

I treat everyone the same way, including you.

Swordsman, don't fall in love with me.

Green Pearl...

Let's play a game.

You can remain unaffected.

I will remain in love.

The winner is the one who's happier at the end.

I will make you believe that...

there is true love in this world.

Don't you understand?

You believe these things because...

you are a talented swordsman.

You haven't been subjected...

to the most humiliating things in life.

If you had my experience,

you would change your view.

I am a swordsman. I won't change.

You are wrong.

From the first time I met you,

you were changing.

Or...

you have never known what kind of person you are.

In the past, I swore to myself that I would never change.

But I have changed so much...

that I can't remember who I was.

But I know who you are.

I knew as soon as I met you...

I knew you were my woman.

Are you all right?

The scent of night-blooming cereus.

Do you like it?

Wait here for a moment. I'll find it.

You wouldn't really fall for the swordsman, would you?

And you General...

you wouldn't fall in love with me, would you?

I've told you before.

There is no love in this world.

Zhibang. Zhibang.

Can we stop for a while...

and take a rest?

All right.

It's really beautiful. But so short lived.

Don't be so sad.

It took me a long time...

to get used to being alone.

Suddenly you are by my side.

When you leave me,

I'll have to get used to it again.

If my fate is to love and then lose...

I would rather never love.

Don't worry.

I won't let you down.

I won't ever leave you lonely.

Why do you treat me so nicely?

Because to me you are an angel.

I want you to be happy.

An angel?

How can you call me an angel?

I'm no angel. I am just a whore.

Green Pearl...

You are my angel.

Come back to Mount Heaven with me.

Be my bride.

I will decorate our room with snow lotus.

Promise me.

Once I find the "Dragon Sword".

Come back to Mount Heaven with me.

Do you have to look for your sword?

Of course, I am a swordsman.

I need my sword.

Swordsman. What is more important? Me or the sword?

You are my woman.

The sword is my partner. Both are important.

Do you really love me?

Of course.

Swordsmen... have no place for feelings.

You will meet other women in the future.

Perhaps one day, you would forget about me.

But you will never forget...

the woman that bit you.

Don't be silly.

I could never forget about you.

Green Pearl...

Let's look for the "Dragon Sword".

Come on!

Wait for me here. I'll go and find the sword.

All right. Be careful!

Green Pearl!

Green Pearl!

Green Pearl! Look! The Dragon Sword!

Come on! Let's go back to Mount Heaven.

Are you thirsty?

No, let's go!

We've been travelling all day. Have a drink!

Thank you.

Green Pearl, do you really want me to die?

Green Pearl, is it just my sword you want?

If you want it, take it!

Don't move!

Chu Zhaonan, I think you can understand.

There are two ways for me to become the best swordsman on earth.

One, I defeat you.

Two, you die.

Green Pearl, you must be in on it with him.

He's here to collect my corpse.

Green Pearl... Come here!

Your mission is accomplished.

Green Pearl. You are a smart woman.

Don't die with him.

There wasn't any poison in the water. I just put some ashes in.

I knew that you had seen the sachet.

But I thought that you would have faith in me.

I thought that you would have faith in me. Trust me...

Swordsman...

You want me to believe in love,

but you don't believe in it yourself, do you?

I don't want to fall in love,

I just can't do it.

Don't! Don't!

Green Pearl! Green Pearl!

Green... Green Pearl!

Green Pearl.

Green Pearl!

Green Pearl is dead... And it's because of you!

Have you learnt anything from this?

You thought that you could save Green Pearl.

But you're worse than me. Worse than Duo Geduo.

We didn't cheat her.

We were honest from the beginning. It's only business and nothing else.

But you...

you wanted her to believe in love and she died for it!
